Origin

Late Middle English: from Old French opportun(e), from Latin opportunus, from ob- 'in the direction of' + portus 'harbour', originally describing the wind driving towards the harbour, hence 'seasonable'.

Since medieval times we have used opportune of something that has happened at a good or convenient time. Originally, though, the word was associated with a much more specific meaning. It comes from Latin opportunus, from ob- ‘in the direction of’ and portus ‘harbour’, referring to the favourable wind which brought ships into the harbour. Opportunity (Late Middle English) comes from the same root. The phrase opportunity knocks is used to mean that a chance of success might happen, often with the implication that every person has a chance to succeed. It was the title of a hugely popular TV talent show broadcast from the late 1950s to 1978, with a revival in the late 1980s.
